Despite being the only driver to score a point in each of the first six races of the 2016 Formula One season, Felipe Massa may find himself without a seat at the end of this year.

After being released by Ferrari almost three years ago, the Brazilian has successfully reinvented himself at Williams, becoming a valuable asset to a team who finished third in the constructors' championship in 2014 and '15.

With Williams now a stable upper-midfield outfit, there is a feeling that the team may require a more fashionable driver to truly progress to the next level and ultimately recapture their former glories.

But Massa has reiterated his desire to stay with Williams, revealing discussions over a contract extension are under way.

One of the drivers linked to Massa's seat is Jenson Button, who began his F1 career with Williams more than 16 years ago.

A return to the place where it all started would round the 36-year-old's career off nicely, but the 2009 world champion may yet be offered another reprieve at McLaren-Honda, with Eric Boullier revealing the team are yet to discuss plans regarding their 2017 driver lineup.

With arguably the strongest, most exciting pairing in the sport, Red Bull are likely to play a minor role in the driver market after promoting Max Verstappen alongside Daniel Ricciardo.

And Gerhard Berger has explained why Red Bull simply needed Verstappen to have a realistic chance of wresting the world championship back from Mercedes.

Elsewhere, Manor racing director Dave Ryan has outlined the difficulties in leading a small team following his return to F1, while Force India's deputy team principal Bob Fernley has revealed the team are back to full confidence after Sergio Perez's podium appearance in the Monaco Grand Prix.

Here's this week's roundup.
